Easy Countryside and Waterway Guided Walk ~ In Cheshire and Free.
This free guided waterway walk is suitable for beginners, so if you’re keeping fit and well wish to come along and join us, we would love to see more guest visitors. Please book your place for the walk, and perhaps for lunch, as soon as you are confident you will be available.
This circular walk will be about 3.5 miles long and along well used footpaths or hard paths all the way. It commences with a long walk along the banks of the Trent & Mersey Canal as far as Marbury Park. The broad path close to Witton Brook takes you some distance before you turn through Carey Park and Anderton Nature Park, finishing along the bank of the River Weaver to the famous Anderton Boat Lift. There are very few roads and all the paths are broad and firm, and although a little bumpy in parts. The walk is suitable for everyone and is also excellent for dogs. Suitable footwear will be anything flat soled, trainers will be okay, but boots will be best.
There will be a ten-minute break about half-way round the walk for ‘bring your own’ refreshments and this walk will finish with an optional pub lunch.
